Move aside Millennials, Baby Boomers too can have their fair share of nice paying Tech jobs in the Austin area too.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, technology jobs are expected to grow 12 percent in the next six years, leaving plenty of room for employment for all ages being that the average job rate is not as high.

“As with solving the broader issues related to tech diversity, change will not happen overnight,” Raj Mukherjee, Senior VP of Product at Indeed, said in a blog post. “But considering the value and experience older employees bring to the industry, there is no other choice.”

“To do otherwise, is to leave far too much potential untapped,” Mukherjee added.

Individuals ages 50 and up can find numerous jobs for all the right reasons. It is possible that some retired people may want to find work because they may not be able to survive a few more years on their current retirement benefits. Others may want to have a sense of purpose by being in the workforce again. Either way, here is a list of four jobs in the tech industry for people ages 50+.

Telecommuting Tech Jobs

While having a new job after retirement may mean a new set of friends to associate with on a daily basis, some seniors may want to work from the comfort of their own homes while making some extra cash.

Senior Salesforce Developer

TTEC is located in Austin, but is looking to hire people with remote access that specializes in mobile developing. Salary is negotiable and the best part is that you can go to work in your pajamas and not have to deal with the hassle of an early morning commute nor picking up a pressed suit at the dry cleaners. Those days may be over for you but you can still get paid.

Jobs for the Experienced

Java Programmer

Let go of the myth that Baby Boomers are not as tech savvy as their younger competition. With a four-year degree in computer science or engineering, a 50+ computer whiz can spend 12 months gaining hands-on experience implementing applications while using a list of computer programs at Cogent Data Solutions LLC. Salary is based on experience.

Even if a qualified candidate has been out of work for a while, seniors can touch up their computer language skills with an online course at Code Academy, which starts at the basics and is completely free.

Helpdesk

For the social Baby Boomer that loves helping people, Robert Half Technology, a leading tech firm that assists numerous businesses in their hiring process, is looking for a Helpdesk candidate. Salary starts at $45K and candidates must be highly skilled at documenting processes and procedures.

A qualified candidate for Robert Half must also possess a strong desire to learn and constantly improve skillset and whether you at 25 years old or 97, there is always room for improvement.

Entry-Level Tech Jobs for the Career Changer

A 50+ individual looking to start something new can apply for an entry-level Sales Associate position at Inspire Recruitment Inc., which specializes in IT Recruiting solutions. With an Austin area office rapidly growing, there is plenty of room for growth and a need for diversity.

Seniors must not pay attention to the employer’s interest in chatting with recent grads. Instead, they should pay attention to the many other qualities that they possess and that Inspire Recruiting is looking for such as an ambitious sales person and for people who really know what they want.

If you’ve read Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” you’ll know that 50+ people typically are good in that area because growing up, finding people to sell to was not just a click away. And leave it to an older and experienced person to know exactly what they want in life.
